We've just got a few words from Team 5 about the accidental buffs situation as well as 2 signature cards that won't be available yet. Learn more about it below.
Quote from BlizzardHey all,
As you know, last week we launched Patch 27.2, a massive patch that included Battlegrounds Season 5, over 100 balance changes, and the Caverns of Time expansion (launching soon!). Unfortunately, with a patch that large, a few things slipped through the cracks.
Some of you have noticed that there were a few Hearthstone balance changes that weren’t announced before the patch went live. These changes were things we tested for the patch, but had decided not to ship—or, at least, we didn’t mean to ship.
We’ve seen your excitement about these surprise changes and we’ve decided that some of them would be fine to keep in the game. Of the six cards that slipped through the cracks, we’ll be letting three of them keep their newfound buffs: Timber Wolf, Jinyu Waterspeaker, and Firelands Portal.
On the other hand, we don’t think it’s the right time to make the changes to Dragon's Breath, Swipe, or Glaivezooka, so we’ll be pulling those changes back out in Patch 27.2.2. We’ll keep an eye on how the meta develops and we might add these in a later update.
The patch also included two Signature cards that weren’t ready to be revealed. We’ll be pulling N'Zoth's First Mate and Acolyte of Pain out of the client in our next major patch, Patch 27.4. They may return in a future update.
We’ll have more information about Patch 27.2.2’s other bug fixes and adjustments soon. Until then, we’ll see you in the Tavern!

Posted Aug 29, 2023 (Caverns of Time)Glaivezooka gives a friendly minion +2 Attack instead of +1.
Dragon's Breath deals 5 damage instead of 4.
Swipe costs 3 instead of 4.

Posted Aug 28, 2023 (Caverns of Time)Probably themed on the event that will reward the card. Both of those signature cards are Silithus themed.

Posted Aug 28, 2023 (Caverns of Time)I don't understand why would you waste such cool artworks on old cards that nobody plays anymore.

Posted Aug 28, 2023 (Caverns of Time)I kind of wish these signature would spice up the font of the card just A LITTLE.
The generic font on these awesome looking cards is off-putting.
(simply floats over the amazing art)

Posted Aug 28, 2023 (Caverns of Time)If they want to introduce more signature cards, they should make it more accessible for every player.
It's absolutely amazing, that there's no currency which comes from investing TIME in this game.
It should be used for every cosmetic in-game.

Posted Aug 28, 2023 (Caverns of Time)If they want to introduce more Signature Cards, then they should fix bugs with them.
For example Souleater's Scythe
No matter which types of cards it will consume, their appearance depends ONLY on Souleater's Scythe appearance.
To be clear: if you have normal Souleater's Scythe & it will consume 1 legendary minion, 1 Golden & 1 Signature, then after discovering them from "Bound Soul" they will be ALL normal... Because they depend on Souleater's Scythe.
This should be fixed.
